Página | 2 CULTURA BLUES. LA REVISTA ELECTRÓNICA Número 120 | mayo 2021 Editorial ¡Diez años… de 10! José Luis García Fernández Es un gusto enorme compartir con ustedes esta edición especial del 10° aniversario de “Cultura Blues. La Revista Electrónica”, con la que llegamos a la publicación de 120 números ininterrumpidos. Un hecho determinante que dice mucho más que 1,000 palabras. Dentro de un medio muy difícil desde su concepción, con el nacimiento y ocaso de la primera revista electrónica de blues en México: Palabra de Blues, hasta su transición sorteando cientos de obstáculos en el camino, pero siempre acompañado por el impulso, la creatividad, el buen gusto y el compromiso de todos y cada uno de los colaboradores. Todos unidos por una transparente finalidad, difundir el género musical del blues y sus derivados, desde diversos puntos de vista, en un marco esencial de inclusión, respeto, principios y valores. En esta aventura editorial, hemos caminado reconociendo a la mayoría de los artífices y pioneros del género, con sus palabras, sus conceptos y principalmente con su música de raíz que sentó las bases de muchos estilos en la música contemporánea. El Blues Tradicional o Clásico y todos sus personajes, en efecto, han ocupado siempre un espacio importante en este proyecto. Los géneros afines han sido también repasados en muchos artículos, en especial, los relacionados con el rock y el rock-blues, pero también con el boogie woogie, soul, funk, jazz, y country, entre otros. A veces, el límite entre estos géneros y el Blues es muy fino, y en otras, muy amplio. Sabemos bien de ese concepto, pero siempre contemplamos su importancia, sin confusión, ni en detrimento de lo que es el Blues Tradicional. Número 120 | mayo 2021 CULTURA BLUES. LA REVISTA ELECTRÓNICA Página | 3 Con la publicación de una importante cantidad de proyectos del Blues Nacional (Blues hecho en México), cumplimos cabalmente con uno de los objetivos fundamentales de la creación de este medio de difusión netamente independiente. Dando a conocer en artículos, y/o entrevistas exclusivas a los diversos artistas mexicanos y extranjeros residente en el país, con su historia, su música, y sus planes; pero también promoviendo sus presentaciones, conciertos, participación en festivales: presenciales y virtuales a través de nuestros alcances, en la propia revista en su versión web, en la versión PDF, en el perfil de Facebook, en el canal de YouTube, y con la producción de cuatro discos recopilatorios con la participación de agrupaciones a nivel nacional. El apoyo y promoción de los encuentros y festivales también han sido incluidos en este ejercicio continuo de divulgación. Como parte de los objetivos en este rubro, hemos puesto nuestro granito de arena en la realización de eventos propios, allá en los primeros años tuvimos la oportunidad de conformar durante dos años consecutivos un ciclo de conciertos: ‘Noches de Blues en los Alebrijes’, también hemos organizado diversas celebraciones en los fines de año y en aniversarios, contando con el talento nacional, de bandas de la Ciudad de México y área metropolitana, incluso en varias ocasiones provenientes de diferentes estados. El Blues Internacional ha sido la fuente básica e inagotable de nuestras ediciones, principalmente del blues originario estadounidense, sin barreras, en toda su gama de estilos y regiones: Delta Blues, Chicago Blues, Texas Blues, Blues de la Costa Este, Blues de la Costa Oeste, Rock Blues (mucho de esto), Soul Blues, Country Blues, entre muchos otros. Hemos volteado a ver y a compartir proyectos de Blues Latinoamericano, Blues Europeo (no solo inglés), e incluso de otras latitudes como el Blues africano, de Japón, de Australia, de Nueva Zelanda, y más. El Blues Contemporáneo ha ido ocupando cada vez más de nuestros espacios, con la creencia firme en que el desarrollo del género debe llevar a dar a conocer a los nuevos artistas, sin dejar de venerar a los tradicionales. Todo esto, a pesar de la eterna resistencia de muchos fans puristas. Esta idea de hecho, desde mi punto de vista, abre las fronteras del género y da la esperanza de que el Blues siga vivo y sano en el incierto futuro de la música universal. Para reafirmar esta posición, nos hemos dado a la gran tarea de compartir los títulos y portadas de las recientes grabaciones, convirtiéndose en una interesante manera de obtener un amplio y novedoso catálogo de blues y sus géneros afines. En este extenso inventario, indudablemente, se encuentran un sinfín de opciones, para todos los gustos, incluso para aquellos que se resisten a lo nuevo. Ya que hay varios relanzamientos de discos de los clásicos. Todo esto para adquirir de manera tradicional o escuchar vía streaming. Adicionalmente, compartimos mensualmente una lista de canciones con un resumen de esos nuevos discos, logrando así capturar una breve, pero muy importante fotografía de la escena actual. Los números de la publicación ininterrumpida son impresionantes: 121 ediciones en 120 meses; 521 semanas; 3,652 días; 87,648 horas; 5´258,880 minutos. Con más de 666,000 visitas en la página web oficial; más de 8,600 seguidores en Facebook; más de 2,400 artículos; más de 8,400 páginas en la versión pdf; más de 4,000 grabaciones y videos recomendados. Todo esto y mucho más, realizado por el gran equipo editorial de más de 100 colaboradores. Va mi profundo y cordial reconocimiento a cada uno de ellos por esta labor, única e incomparable, con el fin de colocar en un lugar especial el blues en México. Página | 4 CULTURA BLUES.

As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

All cited chapters can be found at https://neuronresearch.net/vision/document.htm *** 1.1 Introduction While the material in this work is designed for the graduate student undertaking independent study of the vision sensory modality of the biological system, with a certain amount of mathematical sophistication on the part of the reader, the major emphasis is on specific models down to specific circuits used within the neuron. The Chapters are written to stand-alone as much as possible following the block diagram in Section 1.5. However, this requires frequent cross-references to other Chapters as the analyses proceed. The results can be followed by anyone with a college degree in Science. However, to replicate the (photon) Excitation/De-excitation Equation, a background in differential equations and integration-by-parts is required. Some background in semiconductor physics is necessary to understand how the active element within a neuron operates and the unique character of liquid-crystalline water (the backbone of the neural system). The level of sophistication in the animal vision system is quite remarkable.

He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Because of this, he was Blues Breakers with John Mayall & Eric Clapton: Guitar Play-Along Vol. 176 coined with the nickname "Clapton is God" in graffiti on the wall at an Islington Underground station in The phrase began to appear in other areas throughout the mids. Clapton grew up with his grandparents in Surrey, England. He studied at the Kingston College of Art but was dismissed because his focus was more on music than art. At age 17 he began playing with bands. Two of his most popular recordings were "Layla", recorded while he was a member of band Derek and the Dominos; and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads", recorded by band Cream. Following the freak accident which killed his son Conor inClapton's grief was expressed in the song "Tears in Heaven", which featured in his Unplugged album.

  • Long Ago on Another World, Red and Blue Warriors Fought Continuously, Caught in a Stalemate. for the Sake of Settling Their Disp
    Long ago on another world, Red and Blue warriors fought continuously, caught in a stalemate. For the sake of settling their dispute, a neutral party named the Moderators intervened in the conflict to minimise the casualties and collateral. They decided to have select champions fight instead. These champions would be imbued with power, and set against each other. The winner of those champions would be the winner of the war. Additionally, to make sure it was fair and neutral, these champions would be selected from another unrelated race. They chose humanity. Now these Kämpfer’s clash in the shadows, unknown to the rest of humanity. In a few short days Natsuru, a normal boy who attends a school physically split in half according to gender, will find himself transformed into a Kämpfer. He is rightly shocked, as unfortunately for him Kämpfers are female. Luckily he is able to transform back, which lasts up until the next day when a gun held by another Kämpfer is rather rudely put against his head. And so the story begins. Have 1000CP to spend on the options below. ​ ​ Origins: You can choose your gender for free. Roll 1d3+15 for your age. ​ Student You will be starting off this jump as an ordinary student. There is little innately special about you, beyond the norm. You have a roof over your head, 3 meals a day, and a family that may or may not be still living in the same house as you. All in all, you are perfectly set to have a relaxing decade if you wished.

    MUDDY WATERS “UNK” IN FUNK 1. Rollin’ And Tumblin’ 2. Just To Be With You 3. Electric Man 4. Trouble No More 5. “Unk” In Funk 6. Drive My Blues Away 7. Katie 8. Waterboy Waterboy 9. Everything Gonna Be Alright "Unk" In Funk, Muddy Waters' 1974 release, saw the Chicago bluesman further building on the electric blues of albums like Electric Mud (1968) and After The Rain (1969). It would be one of the last collections of original material that Waters would record with Chess Records, after a nearly 30-year association with the label. The record included a core line up of famed blues players who would remain Waters' backing band for the duration of his career, featuring Pinetop Perkins on piano, (Earl Hooker) Luther Johnson (The Nighthawks) and Bob Margolin on guitar, Calvin "Fuzz" Jones on bass, (The Legendary Blues Band) and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith on drums, (Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker) with additional guest appearances by George Buford, Paul Oscher (Louisiana Red), and Carey Bell (Willie Dixon) on harmonica. Even at the age of 61, Waters sounds at the top of his game on "Unk" In Funk. His booming, powerful blues vocals dominate the album's fuzzy, electric orchestration. Overhauled versions of Waters classics like "Rollin' and Tumblin'" and "Just To Be With You" sound fresh as ever, and newer tracks like "Katie" and "Waterboy, Waterboy" are classic and organic additions to Waters' discography. Overlooked and underrated in its time, "Unk" In Funk is a pinnacle album from Waters' catalog. Format: CD Cat.
